Ay Mamá

The summer's hottest day

Paciencia y fe paciencia y fe

It was hotter at home in La Víbora

The Washington Heights of Havana

A crowded city of faces the same as mine

Back as a child in La Víbora

I chased the birds in the plaza

Praying Mamá you would find work

Combing the stars in the sky for some sort of sign

Ay Mamá so many stars in Cuba

En Nueva York we can't see beyond our streetlights

To reach the roof you gotta bribe the supa

Ain't no Cassiopeia in Washington Heights

But ain't no food in La Víbora

I remember nights anger in the streets hunger at the windows

Women folding clothes playing with my friends in the summer rain

Mamá needs a job Mamá says we're poor one day you say Vamos a Nueva York

And Nueva York was far

But Nueva York had work and so we came

And now I'm wide awake

A million years too late

I talk to you imagining what you'd do

Remembering what we went through

Nueva York Ay Mamá

It wasn't like today you'd say

Paciencia y fe

Paciencia y fe

Fresh off the boat in America

Freezing in early December

A crowded city in １９４３

Learning the ropes in America

In Español I remember

Dancing with Mayor La Guardia

All of society welcoming mami and me

Ha

You better clean this mess

Paciencia y fe

You better learn inglés

Paciencia y fe

You better not be late

You better pull your weight

Are you better off than you were with the birds of La Víbora

Sharing double beds trying to catch a break struggling with English

Listening to friends finally got a job working as a maid

So we cleaned some homes polishing with pride

Scrubbing the whole of the Upper East Side

The days into weeks the weeks into years and here I stayed

Paciencia y fe

Paciencia y fe

Paciencia y fe

And as I feed these birds

My hands begin to shake

And as I say these words

My heart's about to break

And ay mamá

What do you do when

Your dreams come true

I've spent my life

Inheriting dreams from you

I made it through

I survived I did it

Now do I leave or stay

Spoken

Alright Mamá Okay

Sung

Paciencia y fe
